Second Base In Detroit

Our Twitter account has been filling up with all sorts of different conversations happening within the world of Detroit Tiger baseball. Within the diversity of thoughts and ideas, there seems to be one thing that we can all agree upon, and that is that we need an everyday second baseman. 

The Ryan Raburn project fell through this year and Ramon Santiago seems destined to stay as an utility player. All this in mind, here is an idea that we hope Dave D. is working through.

Trade any number of players for Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve. 

His numbers are solid, and his upside is even better as he is only 22 years old.



To top it off... He is from the same city in Venezuela as Miguel Cabrera. The city is called Maracay.

We may lose Brennan Boesch, Delmon Young, Nick Castellanos, Jacob Turner, or any combination of these players, plus more. However, we feel that this trade may be worth it as 2B has been an black hole of outs and errors every since templeton (Polanco) left in 2010.
